To me, 1400 projects is just an insane number, and it's only possible because they are all so trivial.

Holy shit. I'm going to have to go through my team's dependencies. I don't feel confident that someone "maintaining" that many projects is going to be able to keep all bad actors at bay. Not to mention, none of the examples of his libraries that I've seen SHOULD be libraries.
